In today’s post I’ll be talking about the October Birchbox for 2019. I was a bit unsure whether or not to review this one since I was a bit disappointed about the selection they picked out for me.
Why was that? Because first of all, there was a problem with my delivery. I didn’t get notified by the delivery company that my package was ready to be collected. After a while I decided to go check it out and they had just sent it back the day before. Then the Birchbox team did their best to send me a new October Birchbox as soon as possible but it did arrive near the end of the month. When opening it, even though this month had 6 products for me, 4 out of those 6 were products I had received before.
The first product I received is the Beaver – Cherry Blossom Conditioner. This is one of the products I received before, in my February 2019 Birchbox.
Impressions: My opinion about this conditioner hasn’t really changed since February. It smells very nice and does what a conditioner should do. After using it my hair feels soft and has a healthy glow to it.
I do feel like the full size bottle is a bit expensive for what it is though. (€18.62 for 350ml)
The second product is the Absolution – Soft Scrub for Face and Neck. Another one I received before (November 2018).
Impressions: This scrub was and remains an amazing product. The scrubbing parts aren’t too harsh which makes the perfect gentle scrubbing treatment.
I’m still not convinced by the scent of this product but it isn’t too disturbing that I wouldn’t use it.
The third product is the ModelCo – Hightlighting Shimmer Whip. This third product is also one of the four I received before (Summer 2019).
Impressions: I’m not angry for getting this product again, it is an amazing highlighter and also the first and only liquid highlighter I’ve ever used. I was still using my previous tube every now and then and now I just have a spare one. I’m unsure if I’ll ever finish those two tubes since you really don’t need a lot of product.
What I enjoy about it so much is that you can really build it up to go from an everyday highlight to the perfect party shine.
The fourth product I got is the Blancrème – Blue Lagoon Body Scrub. Yes! A product I haven’t tried before.
Impressions: Wow! This product really impressed me. If you ever had a blue lagoon cocktail, this smells EXACTLY like it! Again, the scrub is not too harsh but perfect for a relaxing shower moment that takes you back to a shower after a long day sipping cocktails on the beach. 10/10 would recommend!
The fifth product for this month is the MakeUp Eraser – Original. I’ve heard some great things about this product so I was very excited to try it out.
Impressions: Honestly, I was blown away completely by the MakeUp Eraser! I didn’t expect it to be able to remove not only my foundation and concealer but also my eyeliner and mascara. It was easy, fast and fuss free.
This is something that I will definitely take with me when traveling since you literally don’t need anything but water and the MakeUp Eraser.
The sixth product is the Garancia – Bewitching Formula Against Crocodile Skin. The last of the repeat products. (June 2018)
Impressions: Same as last time, I’m still not convinced about the scent of this product. However, this time I did use it a little longer than last time and I can say that the firming aspect is visible after some time.
I’m still not sure about the ‘peeling’ effect, I don’t really get what they mean with that to be honest haha!
That was all for the October Birchbox (I know it is December already, haha!). I really hope you enjoyed it and make sure to keep an eye out for the November review which will be coming very soon!
